[Eg-oversight-board] Setting Up a Non-Profit

[Kathy Lussier]

Hi,

I just wanted to add a comment from the peanut gallery. There is an 
interesting article here - 
http://www.wagenmakerlaw.com/blog/getting-started-factoring-state-nonprofit-law-corporate-development 
- about some considerations to make when choosing a state for incorporation.

One point of consideration regards meeting participation and what kind 
of technology is considered permissible for remote meeting attendance. 
Given that almost all EOB meetings are done remotely, it would be good 
to check what these requirements are for Missouri.

Kathy
